Bug#663554: Don't instruct users to install non-free plugins at all
I believe the direction of this bug should be changed slightly. Debian
shouldn't advise users to use non-free plug-ins at all. HPLIP should be
modified so it doesn't do that.
Stefano Zacchiroli is trying to get Debian on the GNU Projcet's endorsed
distro list[1]. A program recommending non-free software to the user
compromises this. Especially if, not only does it recommend the
proprietary software, it actively goes out and downloads and installs
said non-free software.
